ENQUIRIES are ongoing into the reported rape of a teenage girl in the toilets of a Bournemouth bar earlier this year.

As reported, the 17-year-old victim was in Revolution in Old Christchurch Road early on Sunday, January 1, when she met a man on the dancefloor.

It is reported that she was subsequently sexually assaulted by the man in the female toilets at the venue.

After the incident was reported to police, a rape investigation was launched along with a CCTV image appeal of a male who officers wished to speak with in connection.
